I think it's right, she did the right thing but she can't thank people for the movie and not woody. He is the mastermind behind the movie. If it were me, I would refuse the oscar, I would make a bold statement, this would definitely put a strain on his career and Cate would do something great for others. Poor Cate, in 2008, Marion Cotillard came out of nowhere to snub the oscar (she would have gotten it for elizabeth) and this time around the whole controversy. I is probably a controversy now just because of Cate, because she is so stylish and classy so if she wins and sides with woody (which was supposed to happen) he would have been untouchable. Mia and her family hit a the right time.

Re: blem – Yes and she probably doesn't want to take any chances with her oscar. I wouldn't be surprised if Woody hadn't told her himself to do it on purpose and ignore him….at the end if she wins, he wins.

She is not stupid and she has definitely the benefit of the doubt of not having been there when the alleged acts occurred. However, she avoids as well a big pile of unnecessary hassle with all these hysterical who see in each man a potentially dangerous predatory sexual.

Third World countries actually refers to countries that were not aligned with NATO or the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War. It has nothing to do with the presumption of innocence. And on that note, "guilty until proven innocent" is nothing new in America.. Salem Witch Trials.. Specific to Woody Allen i'd say, where there is smoke, theres fire. Its public knowledge that he was discovered to have naked pictures of his 21 year old step daughter.. whom he later married. Its not unreasonable to wonder at what point did his relationship with her begin.. at what age? And in that vein is it so inconceivable that he were to have been inappropriate with his other daughter? Its not really for me to say but I and everyone else can certainly speculate or have an opinion about it. Thats the nature of the beast when you open yourself up to a life in the public eye.

Hmm..
Interesting. I hadn't caught the ommision. She's been efusive in her praise beforehand. Maybe she just forgot in the moment? Or 'advised' by her 'people' to play it safe?
Cate doesn't seem like the meek type who would do that thought. Is it possible that as a mother, she's conflicted by those reports?

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
